About

Hello! I am Amelia Johnson, a dedicated and enthusiastic coding instructor with a passion for igniting the spark of creativity and innovation in young minds. Based in the charming city of Buckhannon, WV, I specialize in teaching Scratch and Roblox to children of various age groups. Over my 8-year journey as an educator, I have found immense joy in helping kids turn their imaginative ideas into interactive stories, games, and projects. With my guidance, your child will not only learn the fundamentals of coding but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Teaching Journey

My teaching journey began 8 years ago when I recognized the potential of coding as an essential skill for children in our increasingly digital world. I dove headfirst into the world of Scratch and Roblox, platforms that are perfect for introducing kids to the concepts of programming through visual blocks and gameplay. Since then, I've dedicated myself to mastering these tools and crafting a curriculum that is both informative and entertaining.

Throughout the years, I've worked with hundreds of budding coders, each with their own unique talents and learning paces. My experiences have taught me that the key to effective teaching lies in personalization and engagement. That's why I ensure every lesson is tailored to suit the individual needs and interests of my students, fostering an environment where they are excited to learn and explore.

Specializations

My expertise lies in teaching Scratch and Roblox game development. Scratch is an excellent starting point for kids just getting introduced to programming. Here, they will learn to create their own animations and stories, thus shaping their understanding of logical sequencing and trigger-based actions. For students looking to advance further, Roblox allows them to design and publish their own games, offering a platform to showcase their talents to a global community. I focus on:

Basic to advanced Scratch programming

Roblox game design and scripting

Cultivating an understanding of programming concepts

Encouraging creative problem-solving
